Title: Oil painting Quiet streets of the city Oksana Osnach Description: Procach 124The Oil painting on Canvas titled “Quiet streets of the city” captures a scene of urban stillness, a fragment of architecture and atmosphere that radiates nostalgia and an almost meditative calm. At first glance, the viewer is invited into a modest street corner where time seems to have slowed down, allowing one to notice the textures, the light, and the quiet beauty of ordinary surroundings. The artist portrays a cluster of old residential houses with sloping roofs, cracked facades, and worn walls that carry the marks of passing decades. These buildings are not pristine; they are aged, patched, and weathered, yet their imperfections give them a personality and dignity that speak of human life once, or still, thriving within. The muted palette of earthy tones—grays, beiges, ochres, and faded reds—adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The rough texture of the brushstrokes suggests peeling paint and weather-beaten plaster, emphasizing the fragility and resilience of the structures. Subtle blues in the windows hint at the reflection of the sky, creating a visual balance between heaviness and lightness. The play of sunlight and shadows across the facades highlights the time of day—perhaps morning or late afternoon—when the city breathes quietly, before or after its busiest hours. The composition carries a sense of depth, with the foreground street bending slightly and leading the eye toward the backdrop of trees and sky. Despite the urban setting, nature is present, not in abundance but as a reminder of continuity: the green foliage in the background softens the austerity of the buildings, blending human creation with the persistence of natural cycles. The inclusion of grass and small weeds growing through cracks in the pavement further reinforces this coexistence, suggesting how life continues to emerge even in neglected spaces. What makes the painting remarkable is its ability to evoke silence. There are no people in sight, no movement or bustle, only the quiet architecture holding the weight of lived stories. The absence of figures allows the viewer to project their imagination into the scene—perhaps envisioning children once playing by the walls, neighbors exchanging words by the windows, or the simple rhythm of daily chores carried out within. The silence is not empty but contemplative, inviting reflection on memory, history, and the unnoticed poetry of urban life.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Quiet streets of the city"* ARTIST: Oksana Osnach* SIZE: 40x50 cm/'15.74x19.68 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this productAbout the artist: Oksana Osnach - Born in 1965 in Kherson.In 2009 she graduated from Kherson State University with a degree in Fine Arts.
